As sophonts learn to move through their environment, they find some places more challenging to traverse. The Personal Mobility Gear are tools designed to overcome those challenges. Where a Vehicle is something into or onto which a person climbs to enhance mobility, as the size of that something gets smaller, the result is worn instead - this is Personal Mobility Gear.
